We mostly just wanted to do this post so we could Photoshop this image. Photo-illustration: Everett Bogue; Photos: Getty Images, istockphoto Everyone who takes the bus in New York City knows that you have to have something to read, or a video game to play, in order to not go insane. Not because the people around you are crazy, or because it's too crowded, or anything like that. It's...

Sarah at Versace's house. Photo-illustration: Everett Bogue; Photos: Getty Images Republican governors have planned a little get-together to reflect on the recent election and how it went oh so horribly wrong for them. Naturally, they chose to convene in Miami, the city that heals broken hearts faster than tequila shots and male models. Sarah Palin will deliver a speech called "Looking...

Photo-illustration: Everett Bogue, Fox When last we checked in on poor Baz Luhrmann, he was still frantically trying to edit his $130 million WWII epic Australia down into a concise 170 minutes to make the film's rapidly advancing release date ("It's a little like landing a jumbo jet on an aircraft carrier in a storm," he said last week). Now, according to reports, he's bowed to studio...

Photo: Everett Bogue 2666 is indisputably a masterpiece — but the kind of masterpiece, unfortunately, that will probably end up buried and unread under everyone’s old piles of New Yorker s. It’s intimidatingly long, its first section is off-putting, and there are uneven patches throughout (Bolaño was still revising when he died). Giving up on it, however, would be a shame. Since Bolaño’s...

Photo: Everett Bogue One of our very favorite Bolaño moves — right up there with his knack for spinning crazy metaphors (“The sky, at sunset, looked like a carnivorous flower”) and casually tossing off life wisdom suitable for crocheting on pillows ("Isn’t reality an insatiable AIDS-riddled whore?") — is his penchant for writing ridiculously long sentences. Most style guides recommend...

It doesn't have to be like this. Photo-illustration: Everett Bogue; Photo: Getty Images You've heard it a dozen times: Times are tough, we're hurtling toward (or already in) a recession, everyone's feeling the pinch, etc. If there's a bright side, it's that New York's restaurateurs feel our pain (or are in it themselves) — but they want to keep feeding us, and we want to keep eating...

(In '04, the Jets lost in the divisional round to the Steelers, and the Giants lost eight in a row in the first season of Tom Coughlin’s reign.) In fact, both teams are in first place, though the Jets are tied with...

Photo-illustration: Everett Bogue; Image Courtesy of Fox Last week, the lack of pre-release marketing for Milk caused some to wonder if the film might secretly be a stinker (apparently it's not ). But what of the other unadvertised swashbuckling Oscar contender coming out on the very same day (November 26), Baz Luhrmann's Australia ? Hilariously, it's not even done yet! Over the weekend,...

Photo-illustration: Everett Bogue, the Weinstein Company When the MPAA slapped Zack and Miri Make a Porno with an NC-17, it was largely due to one scene, which Kevin Smith affectionately refers to as "The Offensive Bodily Fluids Shot." To talk the MPAA down from an NC-17 to an R, Smith told us he made a clip-reel of similar offensive-fluids shots in other R-rated films, including the...
